Ian Blake Newman, a co-author of The 30-Day Diabetes Miracle, feared his Type 1diabetes was going to kill him. He discovered a program at Lifestyle Center of America that changed � if not saved � his life.

Since going through the 18-day program several years ago, he dropped 30 pounds, cut his insulin intake by more than half, came off his cholesterol drugs and two other medicines, lowered his resting heart rate, and adopted a whole new way of thinking about food, stress, and physical activity. He now wants to spread the word that people with diabetes can help themselves.

The former high school English teacher and stringer for Journal News (Westchester, New York) is now an Associate Professor of English and Journalism and is the Chair of the Humanities, Behavioral & Social Sciences Division of the State University of New York, Rockland.

Ian's published more than 100 essays, articles, and stories in Utne Reader; Brain, Child Magazine; Genre; Writer's Digest; Hudson Valley Magazi
